Lowering the back of a Malibu

[Blackout_R]

Hi,

I can't make sense of those moog springs.
Is there someone here who can give me a straight forward answer on wich springs to use for a 2" inch drop in the back?

Much appreciated if someone could!

Thx

I've had two diffrent sets of lowering springs in the back of my car and have been pleased both times.a set of 2" from opg and 1" from UMI.

2" from OE, or 2" from 40 year old worn-out springs?

I’ve got the 2” lower rear springs from UMI. It sits high.

i bouht the MOOG 5401. not installed yet but they will drop about 2 inches when said and done

Eibachs will drop the rear; just don't mess with the fronts.

I have the moog 5413 in my GP, they drop the car around 2"

That's a good one.
I'd say 2" from my worn 40 year old springs.

I was thinking maybe if I measure up the height of the arches now maybe someone could recommend me the springs i need?
Or is that the wrong way of thinking about it?

I guess that's the contrast you get against the worn old spring.
A guy here in holland had some 3" lowering springs for sale.
Maybe they'll give me the desired height? 🤔

How many inches do you have from the top of the axle to the pocket on the chassis where the spring sits?
This is referred to as install height.
10" ish is considered stock on these cars.
